My Search

A breath of fresh air
I took too far
Thus my practise was in question.
Clear now a short wrong turn I took,
The damage I overlooked.

With all my heart and soul,
May I be forgiven.

Searching, searching for what I lost
The me, the path,
That feeling of closeness.

May I seek for what I yearn.
Lead me, your humble servant, to the straight path.

The Criterion

"Arghhh!" she says, thumping her fist to her forehead.
"Why ask when all you seek is justifications for your doings?"

Events, shrouded by denial, boomerang and the respondent is made to look guilty while the seeker gets away scot-free.

Or so the seeker thinks.

Bear in mind the All-Knowing.

Upon reflection she concurs, "This could be a test of my patience and perseverance."

And Allah knows best.

"And the servants of Allah Most Gracious
are those who walk on earth in humility,
and when the ignorant address them,
they say, "Peace!"
- Surah Al Furqan (The Criterion), verse 63

Ability, Humility

When one has a given ability,
Try we should to retain humility
Lest we are thought of as no better.
When it is taken away, we should not then wonder.
May we always stay in the light of reminder.

Some Of Us Don't Think So

Life in this world is temporary.
Maybe some of us don't share this view.
So people get hurt, the world gets ugly.
When will it stop?
